A reflection by lay reader Tom Healy on St Doulagh’s Church, Kinsealy
St Doulagh’s Church is described, in Irish, as Clochar Dúiligh. Normally, the word ‘Clochar’ refers to a convent. I wonder if the use of stone in this pre–Norman church including the stone baptistery gave rise to the expression Clochar Dúiligh? Be that as it may, we are standing on holy ground.
Cúlra
Bunaíodh Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise sa bhliain 1914 chun (1) meon na Sean–Eaglaise Ceiltí a choimeád beo in Eaglais na hÉireann agus baill na hEaglaise a chuireann spéis sa Ghaelachas a bhailiú le chéile, (2) úsáid na Gaeilge a leathnú san Eaglais, (3) iomainn agus ábhar diaga eile a bhailiú ó litríocht na Gaeilge agus (4) ceol agus ealaíon Éireannach a chur ar aghaidh in imeachtaí na hEaglaise.
Background Information
